| Knoll
Terrace is a very pretty manufactured home community
located in southwest Oregon, about 100 miles north of
California and halfway between the Oregon Coast and the
Cascade Mountains. The community sits on wooded,
hilly terrain with tall pine trees and white oak trees
dotting the landscape; much of the surrounding countryside
is still undeveloped. Knoll Terrace is
age-targeted but is not age-restricted. |

Canyonville is a safe,
peaceful spot with 1,450 people calling it home (roughly 45% of
the population is age 45 or better). It is Oregon's third
oldest town and has a health clinic, three parks, a cute
downtown and a pioneer museum. There is also a
casino, the Seven Feathers Casino and Resort, which offers many
restaurants, a luxury hotel and live entertainment. Myrtle
Creek Golf Course is just down the road, as are Crater Lake (the
4th deepest in the world) and a number of wineries.

famous for salmon, are also close at hand.
